First ‘Gotham’ Trailer Features Young Batman, Penguin and Catwoman

Fox has released the first trailer for the upcoming TV series Gotham, showing us a young Bruce Wayne, before his transformation into Batman. The trailer also features a host of well-known villains before their “prime,” including The Penguin and Poison Ivy.

Ben McKenzie (The O.C., Southland) stars as a young commissioner Gordon, and in the clip, we see him solace Bruce Wayne (David Mazouz) after the murder of his parents. The trailer sets a grim tone, with Gotham City falling prey to criminals while Gordon struggles to resolve the murder of Thomas and Martha Wayne.
